The 16GA SR8 Galfan hog rings are designed for upholstery, automotive seating, wire cages, netting, nursery work, light fencing and other compatible fastening applications. They feature an 11/16 inch / 17.5 mm crown, close to approximately 9/32 inch / 7.1 mm inside diameter, and are manufactured from 1.60 mm 16 Gauge steel wire.
The Galfan zinc-aluminum coating provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared with conventional zinc coatings while retaining the formability required for C-ring closing. SR8 Galfan rings are available with sharp or blunt points and are supplied in collated strips of 50 rings, with 2,500 rings per box.
SR8 is a collated C-ring format designed for compatible manual and pneumatic hog ring tools. During installation, the open ring is positioned around the materials being joined and the tool closes the ring into its finished shape.
16 Gauge / 1.60 mm wire: Provides the wire profile required for compatible SR8 fastening tools.
11/16 inch crown: Open crown measures approximately 17.5 mm.
9/32 inch closed I.D.: Finished ring closes to approximately 7.1 mm inside diameter.
Galfan coating: Zinc-aluminum coating provides increased corrosion resistance for suitable exposed applications.
Sharp or blunt points: Allows selection according to material and fastening method.
50 rings per strip: Collated format supports continuous feeding in compatible tools.
2,500 rings per box: Suitable for professional production and bulk purchasing.

Galfan is a zinc-aluminum coating consisting primarily of zinc with approximately 5% aluminum. The zinc-aluminum alloy provides enhanced corrosion resistance while maintaining the formability required when the hog ring is closed by the fastening tool.
Galfan-coated SR8 rings are an option for applications where greater corrosion resistance than conventional zinc-coated steel is preferred. Final material selection should still be based on exposure conditions, expected service life and project requirements.
| Point Type | Typical Selection |
|---|---|
| Sharp Point | Suitable where the ring must penetrate or pass through fabric, netting or other compatible material during closing. |
| Blunt Point | Suitable where piercing is unnecessary and the ring is primarily closing around wire, rod or pre-positioned materials. |
The correct point configuration depends on the material being fastened and the closing method. Buyers replacing an existing hog ring should provide the current part number or point style when requesting a quotation.
SR8 strips are designed for compatible manual or pneumatic C-ring and hog ring tools. Tool compatibility should be confirmed by the ring series rather than by crown size alone because magazine profile, collation and closing geometry can differ between tool families.
| Compatibility Item | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Ring Series | SR8 |
| Wire Diameter | Approx. 1.60 mm / 16 Gauge |
| Open Crown | Approx. 17.5 mm / 11/16" |
| Strip Capacity | 50-Ring Collated Strip |
| Closing Geometry | Tool must be designed to form the required SR8 closed profile. |
If the existing tool brand or model is available, provide that information together with the current ring reference before ordering replacement SR8 rings.
SR8 hog rings are used where wire, fabric, mesh, netting or similar materials must be mechanically joined with a closed C-ring.
| Application | Typical Fastening Work |
|---|---|
| Upholstery | Attaching compatible upholstery materials, springs, wires or support components. |
| Automotive Seating | Fastening compatible seat-cover, wire and support components where SR8 rings are specified. |
| Wire Cages | Joining compatible wire mesh during animal, bird or poultry cage assembly. |
| Netting | Connecting cargo, bird-control and other compatible light netting materials. |
| Light Fencing | Fastening suitable mesh or fencing materials to supporting wire. |
| Nursery and Gardening | Tree-ball, pot, tagging, trellis and related fastening where the ring dimensions are suitable. |
| Bag and Net Closure | Closing compatible mesh, fabric or industrial bags. |
| Bungee and Cord Assembly | Closing suitable cord or elastic assemblies where an SR8 C-ring is specified. |
Selecting an SR8 ring requires checking more than the open crown. The tool, material thickness, required closed diameter, point style and corrosion environment should all be considered.
| Selection Factor | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Tool Model | Confirm that the tool is designed for SR8-format rings. |
| Point Style | Choose sharp or blunt according to whether material penetration is required. |
| Closed Diameter | Confirm approximately 9/32" / 7.1 mm provides the required finished closure. |
| Material Combination | Check the combined thickness of wire, fabric, netting or other components being joined. |
| Exposure Environment | Choose galvanized, Galfan or stainless steel according to corrosion and service requirements. |

SR8 hog rings are 16 Gauge with a listed wire diameter of approximately 1.60 mm.
The open crown is approximately 11/16 inch / 17.5 mm.
The listed closed inside diameter is approximately 9/32 inch / 7.1 mm.
Galfan is a zinc-aluminum coating containing primarily zinc with approximately 5% aluminum. It provides increased corrosion resistance compared with conventional zinc coatings while maintaining good formability.
SR8GF is the Galfan sharp-point version, while SR8GFB is the Galfan blunt-point version.
Sharp points are useful when the ring needs to penetrate compatible fabric, netting or other material during installation.
Blunt points are suitable where the ring closes around wire or other components without needing to pierce the material.
Each collated strip contains approximately 50 rings.
The standard listed packaging contains 2,500 rings per box.
SR8 rings are used with compatible manual or pneumatic C-ring and hog ring tools designed for the SR8 strip format. Confirm the exact tool model before ordering replacement rings.
Galfan coating provides increased corrosion resistance and can be selected for suitable exposed applications. Long-term suitability still depends on moisture, chemicals, salt exposure and the service requirements of the installation.
Yes. Upholstery and automotive seating are common hog ring applications when the SR8 ring dimensions, point style and closing diameter match the materials being joined.
Yes. SR8 rings can be used for compatible cage, mesh and netting assembly where the 16 Gauge wire and finished closure provide the required connection.
Provide the required SR8 part number, sharp or blunt point, material or coating, quantity, destination country and hog ring tool model. For replacement orders, also provide the existing ring dimensions if available.
